THE BOTTOM LINE

In terms of return on investment (ROI), it’s not in talent management.

Consider the idea that anything in HCM is characterizable as talent management, however, and it becomes clear the intersection of talent acquisition and workforce management (WFM) is far more beneficial from a financial standpoint—where talent is most important.
